This season Ridgefield Apartments will be participating in the “No Mow May” initiative.
The purpose is to protect and foster the local bee population. By not cutting the lawn area connecting our buildings at 76, 84, and 86 Governor Street and 62 Prospect Ridge we will create several acres of wild meadow to act as a pollinator pathway.
The hope is that lawn weeds and the native plantings will provide a Spring habitat and sources of food for our local bee population. Also, the area will be maintained pesticide-free.
The staff at Ridgefield Apartments is hoping others will join the initiative with the goal of having Ridgefield designated as a Bee City.
